Skinema is a brutally hilarious collection of rants and reminiscences written under the guise of porn reviews by the popular Vice Magazine columnist. 10 years ago Chris Nieratko was getting drunk with pals from the seminal skateboard magazine Big Brother and writing whatever came to his wasted head. When he became the editor of the magazine, they all started a now infamous group of idiots called Jackass. Chris ate eggs until he puked for the show, but his love of pills and sleeping lent itself more to the literary world. When Vice said they needed porn reviews, Chris obliged by sticking the names of porn videos above various stories about his life. The review for Liquid Gold #2 begins, “My mom could single-handedly save my town from flooding if ever the occasion arose. She once worked at the United States’ largest producer of maxi-pads and before being laid off, stockpiled truckloads of the stuff.” He proceeds to mention the porn he is reviewing approximately zero times.

The pieces ultimately form an anarchic memoir of sex, drugs, failed romantic encounters with pornstars, mean-spirited antics and the ultimate show-stopper: marriage.
